    Hi, i was thinking in upgrade from single 16gb RAM 2400mhz stick to 32gb (16x2) 2400mhz sticks.
    As well as filling the another M.2 port with an M.2 2280 NVME SSD (500/512gb).

    So far mi RAM is the next. (I bought the laptop from Computer Upgrade King like two months ago).

    I´ll attach the full RAM info from CPU-Z.
    DIMM # 1
    SMBus address 0x50
    Memory type DDR4
    Module format SO-DIMM
    Manufacturer (ID) Kingston (7F98000000000000000000)
    Size 16384 MBytes
    Max bandwidth DDR4-2400 (1200 MHz)
    Part number MSI24D4S7D8MH-16
    Serial number E2378E63
    Manufacturing date Week 39/Year 17
    Nominal Voltage 1.20 Volts

    I would want to get both dual channel, and the RAM both running at 2400mhz, as well as system stability.

    Regarding the M.2 port, i would like to hear suggestions, i already have 1TB NMVE Intel SSD. (600p series)

    Upgrading to a NVME SSD, will drastically improve your end-user experience. Not sure what drive you have in there as of now, although the increase in speed of the read/write should make a big difference.
